[Comprehensive] Doudou, you don't understand love

Looking up at the wall clock on the wall, Xiaodou turned and walked into the kitchen.

The terrain of the place where Bujima disappeared is somewhat complicated, and it is very dangerous to act rashly in the surrounding area, so I can only choose to rescue Yuki who has already disappeared.Xiaomuro and Yong can rush back before noon, and then they can go to the factory marked on the map to encircle and suppress the group of murderers who took Yuki away, so she doesn't need to go out to search again.So until then, all she can do is wait in the apartment temporarily.

And Makishima still had a fever.

Thinking of this, Xiaodou felt a little annoyed.

She walked to the counter and put the schoolbag in her hand on it, when she suddenly heard a sharp dog barking outside the window.Moving her schoolbag away, she leaned over to the window, opened the blinds a little and looked out.

Residential areas are usually areas with a high concentration of dead bodies. Although the building density in the area where this riverside apartment is located is relatively loose, the number of living corpses here is still alarming.After Yonghe Small Room left, the iron gate outside the apartment was unknowingly crowded with living corpses, squeezing the gate to creak.When Xiaodou looked out through the crack of the window, he met the sight of the last living dead who was still a child.

This is a young girl in a dress, the blood all over her body has solidified, and her arms and forearms are full of hideous wounds from being bitten.Like other infected living dead, she had almost lost her vision, so she looked away without stopping after meeting Xiaodou's gaze.A petite white puppy circled around her constantly, and it was the sound that came from it.

Watching the girl and the puppy following her slowly submerge into the crowd of living dead, Xiaodou was stunned for a long time before recovering. He lowered his head and unzipped his schoolbag, looking at the shopping bag in front of him.

It's embarrassing for Xiaoshi to still be in the mood to bring back the ingredients she had brought back from the supermarket.Because it has been placed in the inner layer of the dry schoolbag, the food has not been exposed to the rain, but the few tomatoes inside are even stale than when they were brought back from the supermarket.

Xiaodou looked at the bright red fruits in the bag for a while, and finally took them out one by one and put them on the counter.

Thinking about it carefully, this delicate relationship with Makishima probably cannot be concluded at all.The beliefs are completely opposite, and the two poles repel each other. On the one hand, there is no possibility of coexistence, and on the other hand, under the current situation, she finds that she still has the feeling that she cannot ignore him.

While she was in a trance, she absently opened the shelves.There is nothing in it, and all the kitchen knives have been looted by others to be used as weapons.Without a kitchen knife, you can only peel off the broken parts with your bare hands. Xiaodou soaks the tomatoes in hot water and turns to other ingredients.

The closed window leaves cut off the decadent scene and noise from the outside world, and for a while there was only the melodious sound of water boiling or not boiling in the huge kitchen.

Just as Xiaodou turned to turn over the tea leaves, footsteps came from outside the kitchen.She turned around and looked towards the door, and the sliding door was pushed open immediately.Makishima stood at the door with one hand on the edge of the door with a pale face, the silver hair tangled around his shoulders and neck was a little messy, and he looked sickly.

Xiaodou glanced at him and then withdrew her gaze, "Aren't you going to rest?"

Makishima walked in, with a tired and hoarse voice: "If you don't exercise a bit, you will be even more uncomfortable."

Seeing him reach out to open the cupboard, Xiaodou pushed the freshly brewed black tea in front of him.Makishima stopped his hands, and didn't intend to open the cupboard to find anything anymore, and took the teacup to his lips as a matter of course.

Xiaodou felt complicated again by this conditioned tacit understanding. "Wait a minute, don't drink that." Then he turned and took out the ear thermometer from the wall cabinet and walked to him, "Don't move."

Makishima obediently put down his cup and stood still.When Xiaodou conveniently pushed the hair away from his ears, Makishima's eyes, which were a little less lively than usual, turned around erratically, and his gaze fell on the ear thermometer in her hand, and he squinted his eyes inquiringly. .

Xiaodou touched the back of his ear with her fingers, and felt that the temperature was a little hot. Seeing his expression in a blink of an eye, she explained casually: "It was used in ancient times." She said and put the probe in along the pinna of his ear.

After a while, the ear thermometer made a small beeping sound, and when he took it out, it was really not good, but it was hard for him to come out to look for black tea with a look of consciousness.Xiaodou turned over the ear thermometer and showed him the readings. Seeing that Makishima was still looking at the numbers on it, he frowned. "You're not used to being sick."

In Tsururu Rin's memory of Makishima Shōgo for nearly nine years, he was indeed transcendent and never fell ill.But no matter how strong the consciousness is, people are still flesh and blood, and it is inevitable that they will suffer from illness and become fragile.Xiaodou looked at Makishima's chaotic eyes, and the unpleasant words that she was about to say turned into a careless tone of concern: "It's burning to this extent, it's better to go back to the room to rest." It feels like it's on fire when you inhale it, but you don't realize it, and only Makishima Seigo, who is so ruthless and ungrateful that you don't even care about it, can do it.

After finishing speaking, she didn't want to look at him anymore, Xiaodou turned around and continued to rummage through the ingredients in her schoolbag.Behind him, Makishima did not leave, but went to the sink to pick up a tomato soaked in warm water, put it in his hand and looked at it, and slowly peeled off the damaged part of the skin.

The movements are even and meticulous, and somewhat morbidly slow, full of a strange ritual flavor that makes people resist.The bright red tomato juice trickled down the pale fingers, reminiscent of the scene when the hands were stained with blood.

Xiaodou didn't want to pay attention to him at all, and planned to continue to work on herself, but saw a white bandage with blood stains on the corner of his slipped cuffs. "You are hurt?"

Makishima glanced at his wrist, and responded nonchalantly, "I missed a little while dealing with that man." While continuing to throw the peeled flesh into the trash can.Xiaodou frowned and lifted his sleeve, but he didn't say anything, just stood there patiently.When the sleeve was pulled up, the bandage wrapped half of the forearm was exposed. Xiaodou stared at the blood on the bandage for a while, and said, "Go back to the room, and I will treat the wound for you."

……

After digging out the medicine for trauma from the clinic, Azuki returned to Makishima's bedroom.Makishima was sitting by the bed reading a book. Although it looked normal, he didn't realize that someone was coming when she walked in front of him, and he looked up at her a little sluggishly, obviously feeling a little out of sorts.Xiaodou sat down to help him remove the bandage, just as he held his arm, he felt the excessively hot temperature under his palm, and couldn't help frowning again.

The bandage was soaked in blood and damp, making it extremely difficult to remove.Xiaodou slowed down and glanced at Makishima, saw his wounded and sick but calm demeanor, and asked, "Have you never felt afraid since you came here?"

Makishima was looking down at the injured arm, unfocused, and said in a deep voice, "Afraid? Is there anything to be afraid of?"

"Illness and injury, and worse, the possibility of being one of those guys, dying here."

There was a pause at this point, Xiaodou didn't wait for his answer, and then spoke lightly.

"...I asked an irrelevant question. You and I have both 'died', so the feeling of 'fear of death' should not exist. That's right," she looked at his cold eyes, "Even You are not afraid of death, so it is no wonder that you can judge the survival value of others so rashly."

Hearing this, Makishima's once chaotic eyes became clearer, and he asked rhetorically, "Do you think that was a rash act?"

The originally suppressed emotions could no longer be suppressed, Xiaodou stared at him sharply. "Is there any value? Can you make a correct judgment based on your own opinion alone? Even the gods may not have such confidence."

Makishima tilted his head and looked at her as if he was looking at something new.

"Since there are no gods in the world, only others can judge the value of others. Whether the judge is an individual's opinion or a group's opinion, it is nothing more than a struggle between individual power and public opinion, and the result is also different. It is violent coercion with no essential difference, and there is nothing unfair about it."

"Violence is a tool for exercising claims, not a basis for proving claims." Xiaodou's eyes darkened. "You don't even have the basic qualities to be an adjudicator, so what's the point of fairness? Your understanding of the so-called worthless people killed by you is only superficial, so how can you correctly evaluate them? the value of?"

"What is it that I don't understand?"

"Under the so-called superficial value of others in your eyes, there are deeper, non-self-interested motives hidden." Xiaodou looked at Makishima with burning eyes. "Don't you understand? For example, the bond between people, the happiness understood by others,"

Her fingers holding his wrist tightened a little, and under her fingertips was his faint pulse and more definite temperature.

"...and the feeling of loving others before oneself."

After the words fell, Makishima did not answer, but slowly closed his eyelids, only a line of dark gold remained in his eyes.

As soon as the words were spoken, an inexplicable sense of relief welled up in his chest.Xiaodou met his gaze and let go of his hand, the tense momentum disappeared for a moment, and his tone became cold. "How about it, can you understand? Let alone someone else's, you can't even understand your own 'feelings'."

Makishima raised his chin slightly, and slowly closed his eyes to stare at her.

The little light that penetrated from the window covered his beautiful eyebrows evenly, exuding a strange and frightening sense of cleanliness.

His clear eyes finally fluctuated slightly, and it seemed that some kind of emotion that was not intense but had been accumulated for a long time seemed to be brewing.

Raising his hand to caress her cheek, he spoke heavily.

"So, do you want to leave?"

Xiaodou looked back at him motionless; his eyes collided with each other, and a sense of weightlessness suddenly transpired in his chest, which intensified every minute.

In the end, she still didn't answer, but stepped back in silence, stood up, turned and left the room.

……

Near one o'clock in the afternoon, there was the roar of cars outside the apartment door.Xiaodou walked to the entrance and looked out, and when he found Xiaoshi's car, he immediately opened the gate and climbed up the fence to meet him.Xiaoshi parked the car in the garage, opened the car door and kicked over a few living dead, then jumped onto the roof of the car, grabbed Xiaodou's hand and jumped into the yard.Xiaodou glanced into the car and asked in surprise, "Where is Yong?"

Xiaoshi turned his head away without answering, and walked into the entrance without stopping.Xiaodou followed behind him, closed the door casually, and was about to ask again, when the small room in front suddenly turned around to face her, and slammed one hand on the door panel next to her ear!

Xiaodou was forced by him to take a step back, frowning and looking up at him.

The young man lowered his head, his forehead was covered by his eyes and his expression could not be seen clearly, his chest heaved uncontrollably.After a few seconds, he slowly raised his eyes to look at her, "That guy is gone.... After we cremated Li and Teacher Ju Chuan, he left a note saying that he wanted to avenge Li alone, and took two pieces from the car. Gun, left in my absence."

With a nervous sneer, Xiao Shi's face was gloomy and irritable.

"As expected of the almighty Jing Haoyong, he won a big victory without us dragging oil bottles!? If you are so brave and resourceful, why didn't you protect Holly back then!?"

Xiaodou raised his voice to interrupt him: "Filial piety!"

Komuro fell silent with red eyes.

"Calm down, this matter is not anyone's fault." Xiaodou said quickly, while pushing him away to get the towel hanging in the corridor, folded it back and covered his rain-soaked head, holding it with both hands The hem of the towel pulled his face closer, and she stared at him burningly, face to face. "cheer up."

Xiaoshi and her stared at each other for a while, then slowly lowered his head, resting his forehead on her shoulder.

"……I will not give up."

He lowered his eyes and stared at the ground, his eyes revealed a dark and sharp light, and repeated in a deep voice.

"I won't give up."

Xiaodou raised her hand to go around behind him, and patted his back twice as if comforting.Komuro raised his head, paused for a moment and hugged her gently.

She froze for a moment, but the hand hanging in the air subconsciously hesitated, and did not fall back to his back.

Looking at the golden numbers jumping above his head, she was silent for a moment, and said: "Makishima met one of those people near the supermarket, and asked him where the group of people are, Yuki is still alive , and was taken away by them."

Xiaoshi's body shook slightly, and he let go of her immediately, "Where is it?"

Xiaodou took out the rough map Makishima gave him from his pocket and handed it to Komuro, "It has been marked. Makishima has a high fever and is still resting. Let him stay here, we are ready to go.... Don't worry, wait." After killing those guys, we'll get Yong back and fix him up."

Xiaoshi was looking down at the map, but he hummed in a low voice when he heard this.When he looked up again, his expression had returned to calm. "There is also Senior Poison Island."

"Yeah." Xiaodou nodded. "There is also Senior Poison Island."

The two looked at each other for a moment, then turned around tacitly at the same time, separated and left to start preparations.

Excluding the light pistol that Yong took away, there are three existing firearms plus the 92f in Xiaodou's hand.Adzuki left an ar10 to Makishima to prevent accidents, and asked Komuro to take away another spring field m1a that was modified and more suitable for roaming and fighting.The two quickly finished packing, cleared away the living dead crowded in the yard, and walked into the garage, where both h1 and another off-road vehicle found by the small room were parked.

Xiaodou called Xiao Shi who was about to open the door of h1: "Where's the key for the off-road vehicle?"

Xiaoshi took out the key from his trouser pocket and threw it to her, "Here. What's wrong?"

Xiaodou shook his head and hung the key on the wiper of the off-road vehicle.Komuro watched her every move, "Leave it to Makishima too?" Seeing Xiaodou's silence, he sighed. "After rescuing Yuki, don't you plan to come back here to join Makishima again?"

"Ah."

"If you leave without saying goodbye..."

"He is also very clear." Xiaodou interrupted him lightly. "It is impossible for me to walk with him."

Xiaoshi glanced at her deeply and stopped talking.

……

The location drawn on the map is an underground factory near Dongban [-]-chome.Since they had already figured out the environment of the Eastern District in advance, the two of them screened and bypassed the densely populated area of ​​the undead on the stance route. The process went smoothly, and they arrived at the destination without encountering too many obstacles.

After turning the last fork in the road, there is a large open area surrounded by barbed wire in front of it, with several gray and white buildings standing in the center.This is a factory with a multi-storey underground structure, and the above-ground part is inconspicuous.The number of living dead walking outside the barbed wire fence was very small, and the surrounding flower beds had been turned into ditches, and there were also traces of burning and burial, as well as some charred human torsos.Xiaodou went up to check and was a little suspicious, "Do you want to use this place as a long-term stronghold, so you use incineration to dispose of the remains of the dead bodies that have been completely killed?"

"Since it's a food processing factory, it's normal to want to stay here."

"It's still not right. Why are there so few dead bodies in such an intensive operation site where a large number of workers are concentrated? Even if it is cleaned up, it is impossible to achieve this level in a short period of time." Xiaodou flipped over the flower bed with a bayonet "The number of dead bodies is also very small... Maybe there are other special circumstances."

Komuro pondered for a while, and asked, "Is Makishima's information sure to be correct?"

Xiaodou nodded, "He has never failed to dig out information from others, and it is impossible for him to deliberately give me wrong information."

"So sure?"

"Because there is no 'motivation'." Xiaodou looked up in the direction of the factory. "That person never does anything that lacks purpose and no reward. Even if you and I die here, it will not do him any good, but there will be a lot of disadvantages."

"What's the downside?"

"..." Xiaodou thought about it seriously. "It can make you feel irritable."

Xiaoshi twitched the corner of his mouth, "Hello..."

While talking, the two had already walked to the factory gate.The security device at the door has been disarmed, and the door will open as soon as it is pushed.The two walked around the upper floor together, and there was not a single dead body inside, only some traces and bloodstains after the fight remained, and many places were obviously cleaned up by humans.According to the information given by Makishima, those people's usual activities are located on the east and west sides of the basement, and there are not many people staying behind, but it is not known which side Yuki is on.Xiaodou took the simple structure diagram of the factory given by Makishima and compared it with the fire floor plan for a while, and said to Komuro: "Let's go separately, the chances of winning are better. If you go together and you don't find the right side where Yuki is, let them catch him." It will be troublesome if Chance warns the companions on the other side, and they might slip away with Yuki."

Komuro reached out to unbutton his shoulder belt, "Do you want to change the gun?"

"I don't know whose combat power is weaker yet." Xiaodou motioned him to stop, took out the 92f and held it in his hand, "This is enough for me, but you, you have to calculate carefully when you shoot. It’s useless if you can’t hit the target.” He stretched out his hand as if holding a gun, “Remember what I taught you.”

Xiaoshi replied "Yes" helplessly, turned around and took two steps, and then turned his head back. "Be careful."

Xiaodou gave him an ok gesture, watched his back disappear at the end of the corridor, and then turned and walked towards the stairs leading to the basement floor.

When the factory was developed, the underground space was astonishing. Due to space planning problems, only two floors were fully utilized, and several floors were not renovated.The more you go down, the more uncomfortable the environment becomes, especially when you go down to the third floor. In addition, the lighting equipment on the upper and lower floors is too simple, so Xiaodou has to open the wolf's eyes to move on.After walking for a while, the ground under my feet has changed from a flat brick staircase to a bridge steel spiral staircase, and the sound of every step I take echoes in the huge space.Going down to the end of the spiral staircase, there is a ring-shaped steel bridge embedded in midair. Xiaodou raised his flashlight to look around, and found that this is a huge space that is basically unused. The walls, dome and ground have only been simply poured with cement. There are a few light-swallowing spots at the end that look like doorways.The steel bridge she was on was about eight or nine meters high from the ground, and there were several floors of stairs that could go down on the other side.

The distance that the flashlight can illuminate is limited, Xiaodou slowed down, was considering the feasibility of the route, and suddenly heard a very light footstep behind him!She immediately held the gun and turned around following the sound source, and the next second she heard a familiar voice: "Rin!"

Xiaodou couldn't help being taken aback, "Yuki?" While slowly moving the flashlight in one direction, she found Yuki standing not far from her side, trembling all over!

Yuki trembled even more after seeing her, and staggered towards her, "Rin! Help...help..."

Xiaodou immediately stepped forward to meet her, "Are you all right?"

"I, I escaped... Those people are behind..." Yuki was clearly confused, talking incoherently while walking towards her.Xiaodou supported her before she was about to fall, and asked quickly in a low voice, "Are you injured?"

Yuki shook his head tremblingly, and fell limply on Xiaodou's body, taking the flashlight from Xiaodou's hand just in time.After dropping the flashlight, it fell to the ground and rolled away for a certain distance. Xiaodou held Yuki with one hand and was about to pick it up, when Yuki in his arms suddenly moved——

In the dark, Xiaodou couldn't see Yuki's movements clearly, and before he had time to react, he suddenly felt a cloud of strong-smelling mist explode in front of him!The pungent smell penetrated into the nose, and Xiaodou was immediately choked so that his eyes became moist, and while coughing, he reflexively covered his nose and backed away!The gun in his hand was taken away in the next second, and the flashlight was picked up immediately——

The strong light from the wolf's eyes shone directly, and Xiaodou closed his eyes reflexively.Feeling the bright light on her face move away, she opened her eyes, and Yuki in front of her had retreated some distance away from her, holding a flashlight in one hand and raising a gun in the other, aiming at her expressionlessly, and there was a piece of snow rolling down from her feet. Just a tiny spray can.

The aerosol inhaled just now was not quite right, Xiaodou's head became dizzy for a while, and he opened his mouth but was choked up and couldn't speak.The scene in front of him quickly blurred, and Yuki finally tilted his head in his field of vision, and slowly burst into a sickly smile.
